I created these models sheets as a way to help me quickly iterate on original designs in the Genshin Impact's Anime Style, and I hope they can help you as well!
There's a lot of nuance in the proportions of these characters, and after studying Hoyoverse's character model art for many many weeks, I translated them into these 5 major archetype forms. This is the quintissential anime-style body archetypes, used in almost every anime-inspired character design, and beyond.
The genius approach of starting with archetype body shapes really helped me iterate much more quickly on quality models and designs for my original art and VTuber models.
This product includes:
Version 2.0 Update includes:
A Important Note: The artwork provided in this product is NOT intended to be used in final key art. It's simply an idealized anatomical base to help you get going in the distinct anime style trope. That's why there are no layered PSD's included here and the linework is intentionally loose and flat.
Need something custom?
Have a creative project that needs solid character design, VTuber avatar creation, or 3D sculptural work for movies, music videos, or games?
I'd love to hear from you. I'm currently open to new contracts for a limited time. :)
FINALLY!!! Thank you so much for waiting for this much-needed update. I apologize that it took so long, I am not exaggerating when I say my life blew up, I had to move out of my home and start all over across the country! It took a lot longer than I appreciated to not only set up my office but be in a mental headspace to do work again. :(
But I'm BACK and I've got some updates and fixes by request as well as a BONUS blender file!
Everything is in the "V2" zip file and includes:
- Added transparent PNG file versions to the model sheet, thank you for the request!
- Fixed an issue with Mr. "MaleShort", whose front-view kneecaps were a tad out of alignment. No surgery necessary! ^.^ b
- All models now have identically-sized front, side, and back views as well as an "arms" view.
- I've included a starter .blend file that you can use to set up your modeling projects! The files should be packed in there and hopefully not give any trouble. Please let me know if this doesn't work as expected for you and I'll fix ASAP.
I plan to expand on the helper files and model sheets as I model out my own characters in the previously promised full tutorial series. :3
Thank you again SO MUCH for not only your support by purchasing this references, but your understanding in my delayed fixes.
Happy creating! I can't wait to see what you make with this work. Please do message me and share what you do with these!
